Thank you! - บันเทิง
Great work...Craftsmanship and patients are two wonderful qualities you have, along with your deep respect for other craftsmans and the vintage instruments.
Your the kind of person museums seek after, with your amazing sense of detail to historical accuracy. Fantastic!
Thanks!. It´s a patty that guitars aren´t consider the pieces of art they really are.
POR FIN!!! se te echaba de menos por aquí!! Una trágica historia que seguro que acabará con un final feliz!!!
Hombre!!! Gracias máquina. El siguiente vídeo será en CosasDEguitarra!
@@AnjudaGuitars :)
Está claro que esto ha pasado de ser una restauración a prácticamente la fabricación del instrumento... Ni me imagino la de horas que llevas invertidas... Es muy fácil hablar desde aquí pero claro, nosotros como espectadores queremos, NECESITAMOS que lo termines... Seguro que al final el resultado es fabuloso como todo lo que haces!
Truck admire your dedication to your art. The frustrations have been great and your patience admiral. Beautiful work
What a bizarre tragedy that the humidifier, which a machine intended to protect the wood of the guitar from cracking and distorting, went feral and nearly completely destroyed it. It shows your great dedication to this centenarian that you have been able to leave the tragedy behind and start to repair and re-assemble it. Your attention to detail and your clear love of relearning the luthier craft used for the original construction is inspiring. I am really looking forward to seeing how the rest of your work progresses.
Thanks a lot for your kind words! I hope to edit the new video soon.
I've been waiting for this for soooooo long
Me, too!!
Me, too!
You are not just a luthier, you are a greate story teller as well! I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you
Wow trantor123, you got me! That´s exactly what I try to do in my videos, show the lutherie world while telling a story. Thanks a lot!
this project is a labor of love~Don't quit!
Whatever happens, you, Sir, are not being paid enough! Amazing work!
You know what, Mark? You are right! hahaha. Thanks a lot!
@@AnjudaGuitars At the end the repairer will be in a different place and the experience will refine his methods . Original makers would not imagine taking old guitars apart and fixing .So this new in a different way .
I repair guitars, and I have never used hide or fish glue. I use Titebond or Elmer's Carpenter's glue. Original Titebond won't release during high humidity, but can be removed with heat and moisture. The Elmer's I use is equal to TiteBond III, which won't give up with heat or moisture. I'm pretty careful with that stuff, and only use it to glue a headstock onto a neck, etc. Places where disassembly won't occur.
Hide and fish glue are ancient tech, and may still have specific uses, but almost all modern adhesives are better at binding and filling, if used thoughtfully and carefully. Epoxy, however, can be dangerous...
Love the old school method of gluing the back halves together! But I think I would have used rubber or latex tubing instead of the cord. I'm really enjoying this restoration!
Thanks a lot! I'm just trying to be as close to the original as possible. And I agree with you, nothing better than Titebond!
This restoration is an icon of craftsmanship. Defying modern times in which every second counts and costs. I loved watching these videos! A great tribute to the craft of luthiers 👍👍👍
Yes, time is for free with this restoration. It´s just the way it is. Thanks for your comment!
I`m really enjoying this series .I have done a couple of restorations in my time , but mainly repairs on guitars.It`s a privilege to witness the rebirth of such an old instrument. Thanks for taking the time to film this delicate procedure. ATB
Really enjoy watching your work and the narrative is great! What a fantastic project, looking forward to the next segment!
So far the best restoration of a guitar I've seen so far.
It is not work but passion! I feel your resilience was the most impressive. Sometimes, one has a tough day and while seeing another one having a much more tougher day or challenge, it helps go through. Thank you.
Your work is fantastic. I certainly hope you finish this project and share it with us. 🙂
Stunning attention to detail brother. Love it.
Amazing work and really interesting and educational to watch. Thanks for documenting your process so well! I look forward to the next video.
Thanks Michael! Glad to know you enjoy it!
Yes please, keep on going. Your videos are well made and so interesting. Can't stop watching. Thank you.
I will, lizenwen. I feel confident to finish this thanks to people like you. Thanks a lot!
I'm very impressed with the restoration ! And want you to know your not by yourself. Many of us have been in your shoes , and I love the dedication to repairing it in a traditional manner ! Don't let it beat you,,, your doing great !
You are doing a great job. I have been very impressed by your respect for this guitar. Keep it up!!
Thank Eddie. I will!
Your dedication and commitment and care are truly extraordinary. I am so, so impressed!!!
Thanks a lot Robert! Looking forward to continuing this series
A real labor of love! Fantastic work and awesome video...Thx!
Thanks to you for kind words Norman!
Thank you for showing the whole process! Repair can be great highes and the lowest lows .
Indeed James! :)
Man! This blows my mind. Que
paciente. I can't wait to hear what sounds like.
Wonderful video,
Thanks Apollo! Me either!
He vuelto a ver el vídeo, y sí, it’s worth, Carlos, it’s worth
Tú si que eres worth!
Amazing work! Elated to see you back.
Idem Jose!
Excellent work, man!!
Every musician will (at least secretly) admit that instruments have souls. I think that she was simply fed up with half-assed repairs and she did it to you on purpose. I don't know how she managed to convince the poor humidifier to go bonkers, but I'm convinced it was her. ;-) She obviously believed in you and apparently she was not mistaken!
Great recovery.
Keep on youtubing. You are good at it!
What a responsability the guitar decided to throw on my back then!
It was very enjoyable to watch, please finish it.
Thrilled by the arrival of another episode of this series. As for the question "is it worth continuing" well I don't have any objection and I'd be happy for it to go through the end but it's up to you. have a nice day sir.
I´m not defeated yet. Let´s keep on it
At 5.55 use paper tissue taped on and wetted---------leave overnight . At 6.00 better to have two spatulas and park one in boiling water while you use the other on . Keep alternating with the hot spatula . To clean up old hide glue use a small artist brush (in one hand ) and a dry cloth ( in the other hand ) Use boiling water to wash the glue and straight away soak up the water as you wipe it clean . Very quick and efficient with nothing soaking in .
Amazing Journey !!!
Good work
Great work.
Oh my godness. This is quite a job. One should allways be carefull with natures way to play jokes with us, that is humidity. Well it,s only to progress. The guitar is worth it. It.s allways a joy to see a god overhaul being made. God luck.
After knowing the reason for the delay and how you expertly fixed the issues, I am now fully invested in knowing how this will turn out.
Very clean repair. I love how this is done and gives me hope that guitar is also a everlasting instrument like violins and cellos.
Thanks a lot Yutaro!
@@AnjudaGuitars Preserving guitars like violins is a major historical advance for guitars . We can learn a lot about the power of moisture in renovations .
It needs alot of patience. I watch this second by second patiently.
Amazing video. Sheesh... legit. wow.
You make excellent and interesting videos. 🙂👍 Keep on making them.
Very complex repair, hank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
Well, don't be sad
Things are happening for a reason and maybe the humidifier broke for a reason too. Maybe the guitar really needed all this attention and disassembly so you can readdress all the imperfections. And look at the difference now, it's much clean and as u said, you can now fully see the flame of the wood. I'm sure you will get a very good results my friend and I'm really proud of you. Keep going and follow your senses 👍👍
Thank a lot Melodology. Though slow, this process is very rewarding.
¡Qué horror! Una reparación de este tipo es muchísimo más difícil que construir un instrumento desde el principio. Te felicito por tu dedicación y tu paciencia. Un saludo sincero de un luthier canadiense.
Aprecio tu comprensión Fred! Como dices, esto es bastante más complicado que hacerla desde cero. Un saludo, compañero!
You are a fine craftsman. I’m looking forward to your next video. I also enjoy listening to your accent!😀
Thanks! There is a part IV, have you see it?
@@AnjudaGuitars not yet. Will look!!
The problem with the humidity chamber was a signal of the guitar that it wanted a complete restoration.🙃 Keep on working on the guitar; I'm sure everything will work out good in the end!
You are a true master.
Nop, YOU are a true master
Horrible accident. Great video though, beautifully documented and I am really enjoying the narration along the process too. I love the patience and care that is going back into this guitar. Can’t wait to watch the other videos.
Thanks a lot for your kind words! Next video in a few weeks!
@@AnjudaGuitars Did you finish this guitar? I have been waiting so much for an update. Were you able to save it?
@@wondersoxx Hey! You have two more vids in the channel, part IV and V. Working on VI!
This is so cool! I didn't expect to see the ending, and it looks is would be more exciting than planned. Sorry your heart attack was a price to pay for even greater restoration 😄
My pleasure!
I think this is great
A friend of mine suffered a somewhat similar accident. He moved from Buenos Aires to New York and took some of his guitars with him. He ran two humidifiers 24/7 in his appartment to compensate for the different weather. One day, while he was away, one of the humidifiers died and even though the other one kept going it wasn't enough, the drop in humidity caused two of his instruments to crack: an Enrique García from 1922 that was in impeccable condition up to that point and a very early Hermanos Conde blanca that looks and sounds (or looked and sounded, I haven't seen it since) like an Esteso. A tragedy
A tragedy indeed Santiago. Sadly, that happens. Hope they were fixed!
@@AnjudaGuitars Jascha Heifetz used to keep his violin in a cupboard with the door just ajar and a saucer of water inside the cupboard . Very gentle and reliable .
Comparto tu dolor, me paso algo muy parecido con una Vicente Sanchis, solo que en mi caso los costados no se despegaron ni perdieron la forma (tampoco era tan antigua). Al final se convirtió en una reconstrucción de la cual aprendí muchísimo. Así que que desde mi punto de vista vale la pena seguir adelante. Obviamente desde el punto de vista económico es una pérdida, ya que es uno, y no el cliente, quien tiene que pagar por todas las horas extras y la mano de obra. En mi caso no me quedó más que seguir adelante.
Te deseo mucho éxito, de seguro te va a quedar genial.
Gracias Leonardo! Saber que has pasado por esto y has salido adelante me anima mucho. Seguimos!
I am enjoying this series so far. It must have been horrifying to find what happened in the humidifier. The silver lining though is that all the extra work that it requires will allow for a better restoration.
It was horifying indeed Jeff. Hope you are right and we have a better restoration at the end.
16:10 This is a technique often used in the restoration of art works, to repair canvas tears. Baumgartner fans will be well aquatinted with the merits of frayed beligian linen affixed with fully reversable archival adhesives.
Where is my washi kozo?
Yes, is kind of what Julian does, but with different cosiderations over the table. Thanks for watching!
Why wasn't it in the jig in the chamber?.. Wasn't the whole point of it to keep it in tact with the back off?
That's a good question! It should be in the gig and it wasn't there just by casuality. I removed it for whatever reason and that night I placed tha guitar back without it, to do it next day I guess. It was a happy coincidence because if in the gig, the wood probably would broke because of the expanding pressure.
Why did you not put a cross grain patch/clet on the crack, of course the crack should have been closed first. I do live the restoration
Que grande eres 😃😍
Nunca tanto como tú!
At 5.00 minutes in: I am no longer a 'maker'. But I can fully understand your distress over the guitar in question. I hope the owner was easy on you for what happened. Sometimes shit just happens but you never want to see it happen on an antique. How sad.
By the end of this video i have a sense that your a remarkable luthier I would say keep going and carry this tail to its end what ever it might be.
Thanks Peter! It´s been a journey. Yes, the costumer was easy. I think it´s my commitment with the job what makes the costumers have patience with me. They are all great. Let´s see what happens next!
Can you tell me what the name is of the specific spatula you are using at around minute 6?
What happened to the videos after the 13th.
AHAHAHAH... you already know you're going to complete this job.... so yes.. it is worth it. I really hope that guitar is a 10000 dollar guitar though as you are certainly putting that much work into it.
Noooo este video es de hoy!!! Yo creía que ya iba a encontrar el final!!!
Todos estamos deseando ver cómo acaba esto. Yo el primero!
Pero me temo que va a llevar un poco de tiempo...
When do we get the next part?
Have you seen to part V. More episodes coming!
@@AnjudaGuitars I have seen part 5, I am looking forward to part 6 thank you.
a paste of wood dust is more same as wood which is too good , more than this cloth , isn't it sir?
The benefit of the cloth is to add flexibility to the crack. It can expand and contract with the rest of the wood. Thanks for watching!
the Baumgartner of guitars
I love Baumgartner! Thanks Bill!
Very disappointing there are no videos of you finishing the guitar.
Yes toss it in the rubbish, just me trying to be funny excellent job so far please keep going.
Si no fuera por gente como tu no habría instrumentos, si no hubiera instrumentos no habría musicos, si no hubiera musicos...no habria musica...Gracias
Me vas a hacer llorar Guille. Mola mucho ver que mi trabajo os agrada.
Linen in hide glue…
Guaranteed to fall apart
Stradivari used to do this .
@@amezcuaist he had no other choices
Don't start something if you carn't finish it what's the point.
:)
Wow! What a nightmare! I'm also subbed to Tom Johnson's channel th-cam.com/users/ThomasJohnsonAntiqueFurnitureRestoration He uses Hyde glue a lot. Not sure if you're interested but he has a technique for removing it.
Thanks Gary! Interesting channel. I'm going to check It out for sure.
@@AnjudaGuitars If you can catch his attention, perhaps you can get some advice from him about the glue. He uses it a lot on the old furniture he restores.
